* compact: shared borders instead of gaps (D23)user2026-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One knob, `compact true`: panes pack flush against 1-cell divider lines that meet in real junctions, one frame rings the tab, and a pane's title rides the line above it -- a boundary costs one cell where the default look spends four. The lines are strokes: each write says which edges of its cell it needs, unions with what is there, and never clobbers text, so ├ ┬ ┼ fall out of paint order and the focus ring recolours without inventing arms. The divider *is* the gap (eff_gap, one answer for the layout, split_fits and the resize clamp), so gap hits, hover hints and corner drags work unchanged. Interior edges give up click-to-split -- one cell cannot hold two verbs -- and a pane's status row overlays its last content row. Floats, zoom and the D6 flatten keep classic frames through place_hidden: zero new tree cases. Underneath it, mode or no mode: a border drag now moves the boundary on that side, converted on the first motion so the press that never moves keeps its old meaning -- the handle's click still splits, the rim's is still deliberately nothing (drag.rim). Which is also the fix for gap 0, where flush panes leave no gap cell to grab and the resize gesture had silently vanished with it.
* slosh: floating panes and the drop grammaruser2026-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A pane can float: lifted out of the layout, drawn over the tiled panes and under the modals, freely moved and shaped. The model is a flag and a rect on the leaf, exactly like `minimized` -- the seat in the tree is kept, layout skips it, the siblings absorb its share, and un-floating returns it home. The drawn rect is the wanted one clamped to the tab every frame, never written back, so a terminal squeeze round-trips exactly; an explicit move or resize *does* write back, because the hand is the author of the intent. Floating pops the pane to the centre: the jump is what says it happened. Painted after everything tiled, so the hit list -- searched backwards -- resolves an overlap to the float you can see: the z-order and the click order are the same list. It casts a shadow (float_shadow, one number), and `floating` joins the states table above `unfocused`, so a float is never dimmed as merely-unfocused. The hands: the title moves it, any other border resizes it (a bottom corner on both axes; the grabbed edge pins at walls and floors, never sliding the window), H J K L move a focused float, the =/+ key grows it about its centre, `-` shrinks it (its split was a refusal anyway), and hovering shows which edges a grab would take, from the same derivation the press uses. Equalize moved to `0` to free the key; `C-a f` floats (finder went to `s`, where it reads as search); `C-a F` opens a new floating shell -- the throwaway terminal; the function row f1..f12 became nameable in configs along the way. Guards throughout: the last tiled pane cannot float or minimize away, closing it lands the top float, splits are refused with their own words, floats are not swap targets. Dropping got a grammar: while a pane is carried, the pane under the pointer subdivides into a swap centre and four edge bands meaning "insert me beside this pane, on this side" -- detach_leaf + place_beside, the surgery cross-tab moves already had. Bands are thirds (the first map of quarters showed the swap owning half of each axis), the hovered band fills the half the drop would hand over, the release resolves against the painted frame's hits so it cannot disagree with the fill, and a drop between siblings along the axis is a reorder that always fits -- refusing it was refusing the most ordinary drag there is. Also: rename-pane/rename-tab as palette actions (renaming was a double-click and nothing else, the one verb the palette could not reach), and C-u clears the rename editor like it clears the picker's query. Design log in PLAN-FLOATING-PANES.md; to fold into DESIGN.md as D22/M10-11.
* slosh: greet an attach with the logo, wearing a random shaderuser2026-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | logo.txt is the source of truth; the Makefile bakes it into build/logo.h the way version.h is baked. When a client attaches (MSG_HELLO turning a connection into the display), the logo appears centered over everything for splash_ms (900, 0 for never), on a cleared backdrop, in the accent -- and one of six effects runs over its rect through the ordinary shader pass: a diagonal sheen, plasma, rings, sparkle, a left-to-right reveal, a breathe. Which one is picked by the splash's own timestamp, so every attach looks a little different without anybody keeping a counter. Every effect reads the clock, so the frame clock runs only while the splash is up (note_animation, same as any animated chain), and `since` in a splash context is milliseconds since it appeared, so one-shot effects sweep exactly once. Any key or click ends it and still lands where it was aimed: a greeting is not a modal. A screen the box does not fit on gets no greeting rather than a cropped one. Headless and scripted sessions never attach, so the whole fast suite never sees it; {"cmd":"splash"} triggers it on demand, which is what makes it testable from a scripted session -- and lets you replay the greeting whenever you like.
* slosh: split app.c into five units, mechanicallyuser2026-08-19
app.c was 7k lines wearing section markers; now the markers are files, cut exactly along them, no behaviour change: app.c the session core: config in force, pane and tab lifecycle, walking, input routing, introspection app_layout.c layout, tree edits, resizing, equalising, rotating, focus app_session.c layout files, checking, workspaces, dumping a session app_draw.c drawing, the shader passes, kitty graphics app_ui.c the finder, modals, the palette, the project picker, renaming include/app_internal.h carries what the five share: the tree/tab/app structs, CFG and the palette macros, and the 50-odd formerly static functions the cut made cross-unit, declared where they are defined. They keep their names; only the five units see the header. One test moved with the code: test_portable_layouts' staleness check greps the source for the layouts section, which now lives in app_session.c. Mechanical, so blame for anything in the four new files continues in app.c before this commit.
